Explains manual lifting techniques in easy to follow steps ; also gives the causes & reasons for safe manual handling

Was easy to follow and read, However a sprain is not a torn tendon it is damage to the muscle or ligament so that bit of information is incorrect and as a result my score was lower than it should have been :(N.B - this was even checked with the Nurse

Awareness is important, but what's happened to common sense. 5 simple points... do this, this & this. If not this will happen. 25mins was just too long. If there is a need for in depth discussion & research how about reference to people & their height in a common world. For example, Trolley Handle Height is common but a 5 foot person might be able to push a trolley inbetween chest & waist height, but someone who is 6'7" could not push the same trolley in position. Secondly, how can a 6'7" man ask a 5 foot lady to help a lift when she is the only person around. Finally, there was no mention about lift aids (ropes / bands) that actually help a person lift awkard objects.

DSUK do not provide headphones, so it is not possible to watch the videos. The text content is minimal. The progression from 'page' to 'page' is slow due to the fancy yet pointless animation.

I thought the first part was very long winded and could have been reduced in time.

good for your health.

Excellent training guide for Manual Handling.

Makes a person realise how important manual handling is, not just in the workplace, but in everyday life
